Poisonous Animals Book and Itsy Bitsy Spider Craft

We love reading and hands on learning so of course I couldn't resist participating in another online book club. The last Thursday of every month I will be joining some of my Usborne friends in the Story Corner Blog Hop. Each month there will be a theme and I will share one of our favorite Usborne books and a hands on learning activity to go along with it.

Make sure you also follow my Usborne Facebook page where I share about literacy tips, book deals, giveaways, new arrivals, upcoming party information and more. - Kathys Cluttered Book Nook.

Book:Poisonous Animals is part of the Usborne Beginners set (only $4.99 each). This is probably one of my children's favorite Usborne sets. Each book is jam packed with information and includes a glossary and website recommendations. In the Poisonous Animals book children learn about why animals have poison, what happens when a snake bites, why wasps sting and more. The font in the Usborne Beginners set is large and easy to read and the paragraphs are concise making these books perfect for beginning readers...or you can use them as a read aloud too. And you won't have to worry about children loosing interest because the images are bright and beautiful and encourage children to continue reading to learn more!

Craft:

For our craft we made spider webs...they also make great dream catchers. These are so simple to make and are a great complimenting craft for spider, Halloween and Native American books.
